I suspect a person like Sorkin appreciates the drive to "create art" for no other motivation than to create, but I think the disconnect is the failure to recognize a work such as Facebook (or anything IT related) as a work worthy of the same motivation. I think some people see such a work (stripped of all wealth, fame, and power) as about as noble a calling as mowing a lawn. Thus the necessity to juice up that part of The Social Network with drugs, women, and parties.
